Awesome - love that mouth (and the ORTHODONTIST'S NIGHTMARE of teeth inside :XD:), and the weapons are great, as is the shadow and shading effects, love the tattered cloak. :love: :heart:
Hrmm, always liked the Mouth of Sauron - shame he got cut from the cinema version. :( Poor guy, he just wanted to get his big break in acting... :'D

Thanks very much. This differs hugely from the Jackson film version and I'm not even sure if theres a definitive description of him so I just went my own way with it but it seems to have been popular.

You're very welcome indeed - and it is very different, but no less awesome - just a different and interesting take on the concept. <3 :love:
And I don't remember a definitive description in the books either, but it's been quite some time since I read them, and if it was there, it was very short. ;)

Sweet Jebus. This really brings across the aspect of The Mouth of Sauron that illustrates his essential nature of a creature of utter lies and falsehoods.

Hey I don't know what to say! That's a very nice comment and I appreciate the fact that you grasped the essence of it. The open black mouth takes all the focus away from the fact it's actually packing some serious weapons.

Thanks very much.

On a side note I've had a look through your gallery and seriously like your space ship designs, very nicely done. I'm shortly be starting work on a comic that'll be published next year and still need to come up with a design for a sleek, small science vessel. Would you be interested in designing such a thing for me? I can't pay you but I'd buy you a couple of copies and send you them for free once it's printed. I'd be eternally grateful and you would see some of your work printed with a art credit. If you are interested message me your e-mail address and i'll send you the brief/description I've received from the writer.

Thanks again.

I guess it would depend on what you meant by small and sleek. My designs fall in some middle spot between clunky hard near-future sci-fi and the sleeker softer sci-fi space opera stuff, though I would tend to say they were on the harder side of the divide. I could not promise anything in a timely fashion either. Even the Bernal commission (which being a commission, I was paid for), ran way over schedule. If inspiration struck, I probably would model something, though. Send me your thoughts on what you were looking for in a note, if you like. The more details, the better.
